A pair !



It is the first time during this season, I found two dragonflies next to each other! It is about three centimetres in length and slender in appearance, therefore easy to miss them when they are in the grass! Th bluish tinge to their body gives them an attractive look!

I have a now collection of small visitors in our garden. As I revisit  their photographs, I feel enthused to make the as the object and attention of my photo expedition! They exist quietly and unless one looks for them, they remain silent and unnoticed!

It is more than a symbolic message to me! 

We humans get conditioned early in our life to occupy ourselves with what is visible and apparent. 

Bu there is more to life than what is just external or easily visible!

Yesterday, a colleague of mine read a poem to us of a 16th century poet, which was profound in meaning about the purpose of life and calling in life. In reading that to us, she was inviting us to have a glimpse of the truth and depth of her being! One can almost miss this dimension !

Our journey is as much into the chronological years in our life as into the hidden pages of our lives, where realities which leaven our lives reside!
